Why Won’t My Hair Grow? Part 2

“It’s too Hard, So I’m Not Gonna Try!”

Have you ever said the above, when attempting to grow a plant or flower that you’d love to have in your garden? That’s how I once felt about rose bushes. Or perhaps, nocturnal animals love to visit your veggies at night and you’ve awakened to a surprise, just one time too many. The problem in giving up completely is, sadly, we’ll never see any results from all our hard efforts. Where’s the fun in that?

‘Predators’ We Can Eliminate with Special Effort

As I mentioned above, sometimes, we have a ‘predator’ in our garden that robs us temporarily of seeing a bounty. It could be an insect, bad weather or even a ‘cute’ bunny rabbit! Once the predator is gone, we start to see better growth. What ‘predators’ are temporarily affecting your hair condition and growth in a negative way?

• Are you experiencing hormonal changes due to pregnancy, postpartum and nursing?
• Are you under lots of stress?
• Do you suffer from a glandular disorder such as thyroid disease or PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)?
• Are you taking medications that can cause hair loss?
• Do you have a low iron (ferritin) level?

Even though the above conditions can cause a slowing of hair growth or some hair fall, most are temporary and are within our (or our doctor’s) control to correct. We might need a change in medication, if that is possible. Additionally, some of these problems can be corrected by reducing stressful situations as much as possible. Yes indeed, undue stress and anxiety and cause us to literally lose our tresses.

‘Predator’ Removal Yields Healthy Harvest

If we’ve done all we can to remove any ‘predators’ that temporarily affect growth, then we can take proper measures to promote healthy growth cycles. One important way to do this is (like all well-producing gardens), we need to start with rich, fertile soil. Figuratively speaking, it’s the same with our hair. We need to use rich “soil” or nutrients -inside our body, if we want healthy roots and longer hair growth -outside our body. In part three of this series on our perennial, annual and container garden metaphors for hair condition, we will get down to the ‘nitty-gritty’ and talk ‘dirt’. The ‘soil’ we attempt to grow our gardens in will be discussed in: Why Won’t My Hair Grow? Part 3.
